' exact description of the same, reference being ing the vertical flangeB therearound, the

legs 0, andthe discharge-spout D. E is the cylinder, scalloped at Haround its lower edge, and having the cover F, provided with a handle,G.

The application to its intended use is as follows:

This device may be placed at any conven- V ient place in the house or anout-building thereof, so as to receive the hot ashes as they are takenfrom the fires. raised out of contact with any combustible, there is nodangerof generating a fire. The ashes being wetted in the usual manner.the liquid percolates slowly and gradually through them, absorbs thealkali, carries it through the scallops H, along the trough A B, and outat the discharge D, into a receptacle prepared to receive it.
